white crystals are formed quickly when mixed and its an exothermic reaction meaning it gives off heat its what is used on hand warmers there is a video on YouTube. the water is the acid and the sodium acetate is the base and takes a hydrogen from the water forming hydroxide ions and acetic acid. here is the reaction.

C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l) HC2H3O2(aq) + OH-(aq)

Are salt water homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures?

A mixture like saltwater (Sodium Chloride) is said to be homogeneous because the dissolved particles are not visible. Properties of Sodium Chloride include a greater density then freshwater thus making it easier for objects to float on its interface as well as having a salty flavour.

What is the role of hydration in converting solid sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate?

Hydration plays a crucial role in converting solid sodium acetate to sodium acetate trihydrate by allowing water molecules to bond with the sodium acetate crystals, forming a hydrated compound with three water molecules for every molecule of sodium acetate. This process is essential for the formation of sodium acetate trihydrate, which has different properties compared to the anhydrous form of sodium acetate.
